State of North Carolina Court of Pleas & Sessions County of Granville Session, November Term 1832 On this day of November Anno Domini 1832
Personally appeared in open Court, before the Justices of S c Court now sitting Lemuel Goodwin, an in- habitants of S c County of Granville, aged about Eighty years who being first duly sworn ac- cording to law, doth on his oath makes the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Con- gress, passed June 7 th 1832 -
That he is a native of Halifax County in this State and is about Eighty years of age, but has no record of his age, & speaks only from tradition that up to the War of the Revolution he resided in the S c County of Halifax, & shortly after leaving the service, he removed to the County of Granville, where he has resided ever since. That he enlisted in the Army of the United States, in the year 1775, as he believes, being the year in which Independence was declared with one David Tatum, who was a Captain or Ser- geant in the County of Halifax, & served in the 1 st Regiment of the North Carolina line under the following named officers: - That he enlisted as he thinks in March or April, or as he recollects for a term of three months - that he was ordered to Wilmington, where he joined his regiment in May, - The regiment at this time he thinks was commanded by Colonels Nash & Clarke, - the Major he does not now recollect, - His captain, when he first joined the Regiment was named Allen, & after he left the regiment, one Thompson - his other company officers, he does not now recollect. - After remaining at Wilmington a short time, his regiment marched

to Charleston in South Carolina, and was at that place, when Fort Moultrie was attacked by the British under the command of Genl. Clinton & Sir Peter Parker. The company to which this affiant belonged was stationed at Haddrell's point in view of the action - He thinks Genl. Charles Lee was in command of the forces in Charleston at this time - & that besides the officers above named, Colonel Moultrie was in command there - He does not recollect the names of any other officers, who were in command there - & possibly he may be mistaken in some of those above named. The engagement above spoken of, was in June or July - In August, his regiment was marched back to Wilmington in N. Carolina, where he remained on duty until he rec d . his discharge in February, 1777, as well as he recollects, but having lost the paper which gives these accounts, he cannot speak with entire accuracy as to the date - tho' he thinks it was signed by an officer of the name of Martin - During his whole term of service, this affiant bore the commission of Sergeant.
This affiant, subsequently, on the passage of the British Army under Cornwallis through North Carolina, performed a small town of duty in the Carolina, proceeded into Halifax county, while the enemy were stationed at Halifax Town, also another Short Town as a Guard to the General Assembly while it was in Session at Wake Court House - But he is unable to speak of the time he was on duty in either of them and does not expect that any compensation will be allowed to him for the same. -
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any agency of any State or Territory -
